Love Always Has Its Way Part 5 By: Silver Bunny E-mail: moonsilverbunny@hotmail.com @)>------------>---------------------------------------- "I can't believe you actually did that to me Endymion." "Stop making a big deal out of it Aary, I knocked you out, so what." "SO WHAT???? You told Neflite that we're going to town to….to.. OH GOD my friends are going to freak out. And RAY …. She's gonna fry me, she's my bodyguard and I left the palace with out her, I'm doomed. And what would ARTEMIS think? And MY MOTHER, why didn't you just STAB me Endy, that would be more humane." Said Aaron, waving his arms. "Aary for God's sake, stop whining. You know what's your problem? Your problem is that you care TOO much about what people think about you. GROW UP." "Is chasing girls your idea about GROWING UP??" "That's another thing." Said Endymion stopping his horse, and gesturing to Aaron to do the same. "You're eighteen and you haven't *been* with a girl before. I bet that you didn't EVEN kiss a girl before. You chose your mother to dance with for heaven's sake." Said Endymion not noticing how red his friends' face is. "What's your point?" Asked Aaron, looking at everything but his friend. "My point is that you HAVE to live for your self, stop living for your father. No offence but he asks too much of you. You have to learn to say no to him." When he finished his last sentence, Endymion saw how his friend's face showed the sadness and hurt that always accompanied any mentioning of his father. "I'm sorry Aary, I didn't mean to hurt you or anything, but I'm really sick of seeing him boss you around like this." "He's my father, he has the right to boss me around." Said Aaron shrugging his shoulders." "No Aary, fathers don't do that. Maybe they ask a lot of their sons, but in return, they give their sons a lot too. What did your father give you in return? No don't answer this. Just tell me when was the last time he hugged you or even hanged out with you?" "Never." Whispered Aaron, and then he placed a cold mask on his face, the same mask he always puts on when ever his relationship with his father is being questioned by others who don't know his real identity as Princess Serenity. "Aaron, I know that you're hiding something. Tell me, maybe I can help." Said Endymion. "Let's go." Said Aaron calmly, completely ignoring his friend's question. And then he urged his horse to move. Endymion just looked at his friend for a second, and then followed him silently with one thought in his mind. ~ Someday I'll know Aary, someday…. And when I do, I'm going to help you whether you like it or not.~ *********************************************** "You sent for me Ray?" said Malachite, entering the room with Mina. "Did you know about Aary." Said Ray urgently, without greeting the new comers. "What about him?" he asked, offering Mina a seat. "You know, Mal, about him going to town with Endy, I told you about that." Said Neflite. "Oh, that. Yeah I know." He said, looking at Ray again. "You KNOW??? And you didn't stop them?" she asked, fire in her eyes. "Listen Ray, I knew Aary all his life, and I don't like the way he's treated around here, he's eighteen, and he doesn't even have a personal life, he HAS to change Ray, he has to LIVE his life. And I'm glad that Endy is helping him get out of his shell. He *NEEDS* someone like Endy, someone to set him free." "YOU IDIOT. " every body expected Ray to yell at Malachite, so we can imagine how surprised they all were when they heard the ever so quiet AMY yell like that. Anger filling her voice and features, and hot tears filling her eyes. "YOU know NOTHING about Aary, so stop pretending to do so. You don't KNOW what Aary wants but believe me *I* do. I've been his doctor and friend almost all his life, I've seen him sick, and I've seen him healthy. I've seen him sad and happy. YOU always made it clear that you disapprove of his friendship with the four of us." She said pointing to the other three girls. " But let me tell you something, WE know him better than ANY of you.Ray is the one who protected him and helped him while YOU were in your precious Arcadia. Lita is the first one who taught him how to ride a horse when you thought that he's hopeless with horses. I'm the one who stayed beside him when he had a fever, when you slept soundly in your bed. And NOW you decide that we're not good enough for him? Now when he became the person he is, you decide to *HELP* him? And you LECTURE us about what he needs???? HOW DARE YOU.." "HOW DARE *YOU* QUESTION MY LOYALTY AND FRIENDSHIP TO AARON? YOU KNOW THAT I ONLY STAYED AWAY IN THE PAST BECAUSE I DISAPPROVED OF HIS FATHERS ACTIONS TOWARD HIM. AND YOU KNOW THAT PRETTY DAMN WELL." Malachite yelled back at her with equal anger. "WE ALL disapproved of the king's actions, but UNLIKE you, we stood by Aaron and HELPED him. We didn't run away like you did." "But I…." "That is enough, you are in the presence of her Majesty, queen Serenity, the Queen of the glorious Caria." Came the voice of Artemis from the doorway. Every body turned toward the voice to see queen Serenity standing at the door way, and behind her, stood Luna and Artemis. "Your Majesty." They all bowed to the queen when they saw her, and didn't rise until she permitted them to do so. "It hurts me deeply when I see two of my son's best friend's fight like that. And I know that it will hurt Aaron to know that his friends are fighting because of him." Said the queen, looking at Amy and Malachite. "My apologies, your Majesty, I didn't mean what I said, I was just worried about his highness, and I kind of lost my temper." Said Amy, hanging her head. "Please forgive me Malachite, I know how much you love his highness, and I never doubted you love and loyalty to him." "I'm sorry too Amy, I shouldn't have yelled at you like that, I think that we're both worried about him. So let's just forget what just happened, okay?" he said, offering her his hand. Amy just nodded and shook his hand as a sign of their new friendship. "That's much better." Said the queen, smiling. " Now would somebody please tell me WHERE could I find my son?" *************************************** "So Aary, aren't you hungry? I'm starving." Said Endymion, trying to break the ice. "Is there any resturant near?" "Yeah, I know a good one, wanna go ?" said Aaron, accepting the peace offer. "Sure, since you're so lousy with girls, I guess this is the only thing we could do." Said Endymion, teasingly. "I AM not lousy with girls." Said Aaron, grinning. "Prove it." challenged Endymion. "How?" "How hmmmmm let's see. Oh I know, make a girl kiss you and hug you right now." "No way." "C'mon Aary, I dare you to do it." ~ If I refuse, he'll think of me as a little kid, but I can't possibly accept such a challenge. What could I do? Oh I know, I'll accept then I'll be extremely rude with the girl, and she'll probably end up slapping me, that way, I'll lose with honor. Seems like a good plan to me. ~ "Okay, I accept. Wanna chose the girl Endy?" asked Aaron "I sure do." Said Endymion. " How about her. She's a real beauty." He said, pointing to a girl with long brown hair. When Aaron saw the girl Endymion pointed at, he couldn't believe how lucky he is, he chose the one girl Aaron could have no trouble talking to. "Her? Are you sure?" asked Aaron, a sly smile on his face. "Yeah I'm sure." "Are you absolutely sure???" he asked again. "YES I AM. Why do you keep asking me that?" "Oh nothing. I'm going to talk to her. Just watch me." Said Aaron, still smiling slyly, and walked toward the girl Endymion watched Aaron approach the girl, and as soon as he did, the girl just threw herself in his open arms and kissed his cheek, and started talking to him lovingly. Endymion's jaw dropped, he couldn't believe his eyes. How did this happen?? Does he know her? Or maybe she recognized him as the prince of Caria? He knows that Aaron was very handsome, but was he handsome enough to have girls hug him when they first see him? "Close your mouth Endy, you look ridicules." Said Aaron coming back to his friend, with the girl beside him. "I um… err…ah.." Endymion was speechless, he didn't know what to say, he just stood there, trying his best not to look like a complete idiot. "Endy, I want you to meet Rita, my friend, and the wife of Andrew, one of my closest friends." Said Aaron introducing the girl. "Rita, this is my good friend, prince Endymion, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind you calling him by his first name, right Endy?" "Uh oh of course not, it's an honor to meet you Ma'am." Said Endymion, getting out of his thoughts. "The honor is all mine, your highness." She said, bowing a little. "Endy, you can call me Endy." "Very well Endy. I understood from Aary that you two are starving. Why don't we all go to my husband's restaurant, I'm sure he'll be thrilled to see both of you." "I would be delighted to do so." Said Endymion giving her one of his ever so charming smiles. ~ Why is he smiling at her like that?" thought Aaron. ~ He knows that she's married and he still smiles at her with that….. That SMILE. He never smiled at ME that way…. But then again, he doesn't know that I'm a girl. But if he did, how will he treat me? Will he love me. Will he kiss me OH C'MON SERENA SNAP OUT OF IT, YOU'RE A GUY IN HIS EYES, AND HE'LL NEVER THINK OF YOU IN ANY OTHER WAY. You're doomed to live your life like this, so don't get so attached to him, you'll end up being hurt. Oh my god, but it's too late to back up now… I …… I ….. I love him…………… ******************************************** Okay, A BIG thing is gonna happen in the next chapter, Serena is going to…Opps, I almost spoiled the big event that will happen, SORRY.
